About

Few tools, my hands and clay. Let me feel the clay and bring it too life. There live a lot of happy creatures in there.

My signature dish: Story Bowls. A memorable story caught in a bowl, they make very personal gifts and I love making.

Two Trees logo: stands for creation, creativity & the 2 trees I have planted regularly for the orang-utans in Sumatra.

OOAK creations deserve unique gift boxes. These are handmade for me in Nepal; directly supporting several local families

A gift is the best thing in life, as life is a gift.

Two Trees a world of happiness

My work is mostly whimsical and funny and has found its way to private collections across the globe, from the far East to the wild West. Of this I'm really proud.

I grew up among the orchards and the fields in Zeeland, the Netherlands. This triggered my fascination for animals, nature and fire. I always loved the time when my dad would burn the pruned branches; getting as close as possible. Now I still play with fire to shape porcelain, glass and silver.

I left the Netherlands to study industrial design in Antwerp, Belgium. After my graduation I moved further to Ireland where I lived and worked for 3 years. I returned to Antwerp and owned a bespoke kitchen-showroom, I did everything, bar installing and painting the kitchens, myself. A great job, turning people’s houses into homes, the kitchen being the heart of most homes. Unfortunately I had to let it go. I liked being self-employed and I also like to create with and for people; to make them and their homes a happier place.

I had spent my time in the evenings creating and going to courses in wood carving, ceramics, glass bead making and forge silver and gold. I had always received many positive replies to my work and felt the time was right to try and set up shop and sell these creations. Thus spreading the happiness, which is central to my work, into the world. And so I opened my shop on etsy in June 2010.
